Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on highway safety with particular regard to pedestrian safety
  • the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether any harm would be outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives

What decided it

The need for the installation to be sited as proposed does not outweigh the identified harm to highway safety and character and appearance, particularly given insufficient evidence that suitable alternative sites have been properly ruled out.
